CVE-2026-13732

7.8 · HIGH
Published Aug 31, 2026 CWE-787

Overview

CVE-2026-13732 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 31, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

A flaw was found in GDB's STABS debug format parser. The

read_member_functions() function in gdb/stabsread.c contains a linked

list removal bug in the code that separates destructor and non-destructor

member functions of C++ classes. The bug causes the destructor entries to

remain in the main function list while the list length counter is

decremented, resulting in an out-of-bounds write when the function list

is copied to its final allocated array. An attacker can craft an ELF

binary with malicious .stab and .stabstr sections that triggers this

out-of-bounds write when a user opens the file in GDB and performs any

symbol-inspection operation such as setting a breakpoint. The inferior

process does not need to be executed. Under controlled conditions, this

was demonstrated to achieve execution of arbitrary commands within the

GDB process.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
